The Radio Awards are back for 2021, and entries are open!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

[PRESS OFFICE] In 2020 the world marked 100 years of radio, and in 2021 The Radio Awards look to celebrate the next century by shining a spotlight on the enduring value of radio in South Africa. Entries for The Radio Awards 2021 have opened. Entries close on 5 February 2021, and the winners’ announcement will  be streamed online on 14 May 2021.

It will be the eleventh year that The Radio Awards has honoured outstanding achievements in the radio industry, setting benchmarks for all stations and professionals to strive towards. In 2020, The Radio Awards attracted a record number of entries (more than 2 000) from a record number of stations (more than 160).

Taryn Westoby, Head of Arena Events – which hosts The Radio Awards – believes that the role of radio has never been more important in the lives of South Africans. “The country has faced a tough year marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, where radio has provided a necessary lifeline for millions during lockdown. Radio has played a vital role in keeping people informed and in touch, emphasising again that it is an essential form of entertainment, communication and connection for South Africans.”

To support the radio industry during 2020, The Radio Awards programme was extended to include a “Tune In” series of virtual dialogues that will continue into 2021. The online dialogues will focus on various topics of interest for radio broadcasters and radio marketers, allowing people across the country to learn from experts while maintaining social distancing.

Extended entry period for 2021!

From 10 December 2020, radio stations across the country are invited to submit their entries for The Radio Awards 2021 via the online entry portal at www.radioawards.co.za.

“With many in the radio industry facing end-of-year exhaustion, we’ve kept the entry window open longer to alleviate the time-crunch pressures many face at this time of year,” says Westoby. 

The Radio Awards entries close on 5 February 2021.

How to Enter

There is no fee for entering, and all category and entry guidelines are available on The Radio Awards website.
